四級考試閱讀理解技巧 -怎樣準(zhǔn)確找出文章的中心思想(一)
四級閱讀測試一般包括4篇文章的閱讀,每篇后有5道選擇題。這些的類型多種多樣,但歸納起來大致可分為二大類,即全域型問題(Global Question)和局域型問題(Local Question ). Local Question一般涉及三方面內(nèi)容:Subject Matter, Attitude/Tone;Local Question 涉及:Supporting Details,Inference,Vocabulary.以下,我們將針對四級考試的特點(diǎn)、出題范疇、出題方式等,根據(jù)這些問題在考試出題中的大致排列順序,進(jìn)行有步驟、有計(jì)劃的分項(xiàng)應(yīng)試技能訓(xùn)練。
關(guān)于主題思想問題(Subject Matter)
Subject Matter(SM中心思想)是作者在文章中要表達(dá)的的主要內(nèi)容,是貫穿全文的核心。作者在文章中努力通過各種Supporting Details來闡明中心議題。因此,把握主要思想對于全文理解具有重要意義。熟悉四級測試的人都知道,這類問題常被列為5題之首。然而,如何找出主題常使考生倍感棘手。因?yàn)樗麄兛傁Mㄟ^某個詞或某句話就能找到答案,而找主題往往需要通讀全文后才能作出判斷。
針對SM問題,應(yīng)采用快速閱讀法(Skimming)瀏覽全文,理解文章主旨大意,閱讀時要注意:抓住中心思想的句子在文章中的位置不同,但閱讀時,文章的開頭、結(jié)尾及段落的段首句和段尾句特別重要,因?yàn)樗麄兺恼碌闹行淖h題(SM)。
根據(jù)內(nèi)容的不同,這類問題可分為主題型、標(biāo)題型和目的型 。主題型一目了然就是找中心(Main Idea);標(biāo)題型是為文章選擇標(biāo)題(Title);目的型就是推斷作者的寫作意圖(Purpose).這類題常見的命題方式有:
(1) What is the main idea (subject) of this passage ?
。2) What does this passage mainly (primarily)concerned ?
。3) The main theme of this passage is ___________.
。4) The main point of the passage is__________.
。5) Which of the following is the best title for the passage ?
。6) The title that best expresses the theme of the passage is ___________.
。7) On which of the following subject would the passage most likely be found in a textbook ?
。8) The purpose of the writer in writing this passage _________.
。9) Which of the following best describes the passage as a whole ?
